Our Projects
Our current projects in progress
Real estate development in Törökbálint. The first phase of the greenfield industrial and commercial building complex commenced at the end of 2005 was completed in 2008, as a result of which an office building of A+ category, of 3,000 m2 space and of special design was delivered. The office building functions as an administrative centre for industrial investments. The second phase of the development is currently under preparation. Project implementation: presumably, in 2012.
Total project value: approx. 12 million EUR.
Opencast mining in the Heves County Kisnána region (please click here to access the web site of our affiliate). During the past 15 years, we established one of the most competitive eruptive stone mines of Hungary as a greenfield investment, by continuous human and capital investments, and with the installation of one of the most state-of-the-art, computerised crusher and classifier facilities of the region. Today the mine utilizes efficient technologies for the production of over 500,000 tonnes per annum of recycled materials and additional B quality products of similar range, from a market perspective it practically covers the entire region of Eastern Hungary, Budapest, the capital city, and also the Eastern ends of Western Hungary. Currently, an investment worth almost 3 million EUR is in progress, after the implementation of which, we shall be able to produce perhaps the best quality superfractions of the country, and our capacity shall exceed 1 million tonnes per annum.
Total project value: approx. 15 million EUR.
Deep level mining in Eastern Hungary. The extraordinary potentials of the Mátra Mountains in Hungary have been proven for centuries with regard to the exploration and mining of colour metals (copper, zinc, etc.) and precious metals (gold, silver). Currently, we are co-operating with a Far-Eastern partner with the aim to start the mining of deep level non-ferrous metals. With regard to the mineralisation of the proved deposits, the situation is very favourable: there are almost 30 million tonnes of skarn type copper ore exceeding 2%, and 200 million tonnes of porphyritic type copper ore of 0.5% contained there according to the data of the cored bed exploration of over 200,000 metres performed to date. In addition, we study several other potential deposits, which in total enable the effective exploitation of several hundred million tonnes of colour metal ore.
Total project value: approx. 700-900 million USD.
Objectives and Strategy
Our strategy is to continue to create value through project development, exploration, including joint venture partnerships and strategic investments.
The Company will continue to exploit its competitive advantage across Central-Eastern-Europe, without being constrained by it. We will look to take advantage of good quality investments and opportunities providing further diversification by geography and commodity. Maintaining a strong project pipeline is essential to achieving organic growth of the Company. Evaluation of opportunities will include merger and acquisition (M&A) activity. MAB Plc. will seek opportunities for project acquisitions or corporate mergers which will provide investment in cost competitive projects.
Growth will also be achieved through expansion of operations and exploration. We are currently looking at expansion plans for Serbia, Romania, Slovakia and Poland, including expansion of our plants and current resources and reserves. In exploration we continue to work on programmes focused in the most promising areas of our substantial Central-Eastern-European holdings.
We continue to derive strategic advantage from our proprietary geoscientific database and place priority on utilising the latest exploration technology. In addition, we continue to work with our joint venture partners and are looking for new partners which fit with our strategic growth plans.
